Fall Creek Trail

A long hike with plenty of gentle high-alpine scenery. The Fall Creek Trail starts at a high elevation of approximately 11,000 feet, thereby giving relatively easy access to the high country in the heart of the Uncompahgre Wilderness. The hiking is enjoyable, with no big climbs, for about the first 5.5 miles.
